Mr.. Presidentr'
"Mr. Graves, director for the state,

Then he began to read from a slip
OF paper.
"Nhereas, John Mills, engineer oI

A tremendous cheer broke from the
company, and the resolution was
passed with q shout Of assent.
How it all ended they never knew.
1t seemed like a dream, and they
could not believe it true till they
stood alone in the winters night on
the track beside that glorious 49,"
The few ears the engine had brccsht
up had been joined TO the train, and
"59"had been rolled out on the siding.
With many han~dshakings for John,
and hearty kisses forkate, and around
of parting cheers for the two. the train
had sped away. The oilers had dis
persed, and none fingered about the
abandoned station save the lovers.
"59" would stay that night on the
siding, and they had walked up the
track to bid it a long farewell.
For q few moments they stood in
the glow OF the great lamp, and then
he quietly put it out, and left the
giant to breathe away its fiery life in
gentle clouds OF white steam. As for
the lovers, they had no need OF its
light. The winters stars shone upon
them, and the calm cold night seemed
a paradise below.

a Quaker Wedding.

from the Detroit Free Eress.
1t was a small square building,
painted white and like all Friends
"meeting-houses' there was upon it
no spire or cupola, for they deem it
s~acrilegious to disturb the ealm OF
their peaceful "First Day. with clang-
or of brazen bell. One autumn "Fifth
Day." from far ard near came the
old-iashioned carriages, bringing staid
old gentlemen wearing their drab cos
tunes, Of which the broad-brimmed
hat and queer coats were distinctive
features; old ladies with placid faces
peeping out from beneath the quaint
drab bonnets, wearing plainly made
dresses of the same somber hue, with
nothing save white handkerchiefs ct
exquisite fneness crossed beneath
their chins TO relieve the severe plain
ness of their raiment, and young peo-
pie mostly attired alter the manner
of the worlds people," all eager to
see the rather unusual sight OF q we'd
ding in the Westinghouse.
i entered at the women's door. The
interior Of the plain building wore an
air OF strange simplicity in thesedays,
wien cushioned pews and elegant car
pets are seen il nearly all churches.
The pine floor WasNvhite and clean.
A dozen straight backed seats were on
either side OF a narrow aisle, and
fronting these were four Others on a
raised platform. Acommon box-stoye
stood in the corner, and also a small
walnut table on which was lying q roll
of paper which proved to be the mar
rage certificate. The sliding partl-
tion which was open on this occasion,
showed us that the mems side of the
house was similarly furnished with
the exception of the table.
The male portion ofthe audience sat
with their hats or, and both men and
women had their heads bent slightly
forward with eyes half closed, as If en-
gagged in silent devotion. No fresh ar
rival caused one face to turn toward
the door to see who che newcomer
was. Even little children, whose mis-
chievous pranks gorely tried my pa
thence in the schoolroom, now sat de-
mure and silent, and there vas no air
of expectancy on. any countenance.
At last the wedding party entered,
but not to the sound OF wedding
march, for no music either vocal or
instrumental is. ever heard in q Qua
ker meeting house. They passed on to
the platform and seated themselves
facing the little assemblage gathered
there to witness the ceremony. Ten
minutes more of silence, when they
rose, and the couple to be married
Joined their right hands, and the gem
tleman said in rather low, but dis
tinct tones.
tIn the presence OF the Lord | take
thee, Ruth Etiles. to be my welded
wife, promising with divine assistance
to be unto thee q loving and faithful
husband until death shall separate
u.s."
In trernulous tones the bride then
repeated the same words, merely sub
stituting David Hill and "husband''
for wife
They sat down again, and after an.
other short period OF silence one old
gentleman arose and shook hands
with another, and the meeting had
closed.

assured that such an attempt would be
promptly punished. Men were lying in
ambush all around, and at dark our line
was drawn in to closely encircle the
building. Shortly before midnight a
stealthy form crept past me in the gloom
and the game was in tho tolls. Swiftly
passing around the Gordon notified the
men that Showers had entered the house,
and we at once took positions at every
door and window. AS soon as the Lieu
tenants step sounded upon the porch
the fugitive leaped from back window
INTO the iron grip of Sergeant Howard.
The man fought and bit and swore and
yelled like demon, but strong arms
bore him down and strong cords bound
his writhing limbs. His hair and beard
fell down his back and breast il matted
masses, his hands and face were black
with the accumulated CRIME of months,
and the nails of his fingers resembled
the long curved talons of some great
bird of prey. His eyes glared like mad
mans, and every struggling motion re-
minded us Of those of bafIed, raging
wild beast. The sight was terrible, and
one who witnessed it can never forget it.

WAR GOVERNOR WISE.
Poet Rnndnll's story About Him and Two
Capitol Statues.
lFrOm lho Anniston Hot RlnslA

From tho Anniston Hot Blast1
1t seems n fact that history repeats
itself. The phrase, "Let her 20, Gal
lagher, that has been going the rounds
lately III the Southern papers, reminds
us OF an incident that occurred in Wash
lnGton good many years ngo when
lion. Henry A. Wise was member of
Congress. While engaged in converse
ton near the statue Of Washington, on
the east front of the Capitol building, a
strange looking genius approached us
and asked: eff we could tell him the
meaning of the statue opposite-the
man with the extended arm and ball in
his hand, looking directly in the face of
the statue by which we were standineP"
and also asked, "Who the statue repre-
sentcd near us?''
MIR. Wise looked intontly at him for a
few moments and, being satified that he
was really seeking information, explain
ed to him who the statues represented.
Tho man with extended arm and ball in
his hand represented Christopher Co
lumbus, the discoverer of America, and
the ball in his hand illustrated his theory
that tho earth was round and by sailing
due west he could circumnavigate the
globe, or rather ho would find new
COhblHCliL 10 Dalauco Gn0 one they knew
all about. The statue by which we were
standing represented George Washing
ton, known as the "Father of his Coun-
try" Mr.. Wise called his attention to
the superscription: "First in Peace,
First i'll War and First in the Hearts of
his Countrymcn"-which had evidently
escaped tho strangers attention, but
there is no namo or inscription on the
statue Of Columbus, and he or any one
else could be reasonably excused for
asking to whom the statue was erected
and the meaning OF the bali in the hand.
But MIR. Wise continued by calling the
attention of the stranger to the right
arm of the Washington statue, extended
with the hand open and looking directly
ia the face OF Columbus, about l2O Yards
dlstant-COlumbus looking as in thej
act of throwing the ball at him. MfF

ENEi;ETTE BARTTELLIG FOUND.
Not Lost in tho dorsey Swamps-- Happiness
in Waterford.
(Erom ,he Philadelphia Times.

G:r"m ,Ae Philadelphia TimcS)
Everettc Barttelle, the 6-year-old boy
who disappeared from his home near
Waterford, N. j., Friday and whose dis
appearance caused the people of that
vicinity to desert their church on Sun
day and ScOur the country for miles
around, was found at SS! Erie street,
Camden, and taken home. Sunday the
searching parties trampcd many miles
and failed to find any trace Of the boy.
About o'clock one of the party in tic
swamp called:
"Thero's the bell! the boy is found. "
All stopped and listened. Sure enough
the big bell on the Episcopal Church,
four miles away, could be heard spread
ing the news that brought Joy to q
mothers heart.
"Thank God! hope he's alive" OK
claimed the big hearted constable. A
tervcnt "amen" went up from score of
throats. The dogs were called in and
the searchcrs started for homo, hoping
for the best, but fearing that only the
body had been found. When the party
reached Waterford they were met by
another crowd, and the cheers of the
men when it was known the boy was
safe made the pines ring.
baggage Master Dill, of the Camden
and Atlantic Railroad, found the lad
comfortably housed ut 88! Eric street,
Camden. Evcretto had gone there Sat
urday night and asked for something to
eat. Ho said he had neither father nor
mother and had been working on farm
and tho people had turned him away.
The Camden and Atlantic Railroad
officials allowed tho Constable and the
little fellow to travel home on one of the
freight trains ard they arrived at Water
ford shortly before two O'Clock. When
the Constable and Evorottc stood on fhc
steps of the Barttclle home the father
called out: els he dead?"
"NO, he's alive and all right" answer

| a down town pool-room furnishes a
story, while not romantic, proves that
dreams, while not infallibIe, can be
| turned to good account at times. A
prominent st. Anthony hill youth who
had been playing tho horses there for
three weeks with intermittent fortune.
was going home few nights since well
under the influence Of cocktails which
he had absorbed purely for their
medicinal virtues. He was in tEat happy,
mood when everything out of the ouit<
nary run OF things attracts the eye and
makes strong bid for the curiosity of
the beholder. The young man had felt
ms way carefully along the sidewalk to
tho bill board hiding Alderman Dowlan's
wood yard, on Wabasha street, when
through the dim glare of the street lamp
the highly colored hthograph advertise
lh8 the play ''Nly Geraldine, " caught his
eye.
!nere was something about the blazing
nuliolng, tho tall man with o twenty
lnch dagger in his hand, the lemon

nlgIt ar ana the elaborate lettering that
tlcklod his curiosity, and leaning up
against telegraph pole, he pazed af the
gaudy bill and read and reread, CIV
Geraldine, my Geraldine" and when he
reached home and had rolled into he'd
ne sank to sleep whispering "My Geral-
dine, my Geraldine"
In his dream that night he met a
beautiful girl with divine form and wav-
lug hair that had captured the softest
beams of the midday sun and married
her. With her personal charms she
brought him great wealth in valuable
city property and bank stock, and her
name was Geraldine. The following
morning tho young man awoke and
pHthcd his extended mind in ice water
and went down to breakfast but he
could not drive the dream from his head
ana as he went down town to his Office
MS lips mechanically muttered 'Geral-
dino, Goraldine."
Ito dropped into the pool-room. fas

way down the list his eye fell upon the

wa not favorito in tho race and the
crowd eagerly grabbed at the young
mans ouer to play her and gave him
liberal odds. At last, with all his avail
abe funds placed on the race, he rested
conlid@nt TINT he would win. Finally in
" deep voice the pool seller announced
tAnt the horses were off, and the
young man calmly waited for the
name OF the winner to be given. He had
not long to wait and he showed no signs
of surprise when the caller sang out:
"Gcraldino wins tho race"
tho young man walked calmly up and
cashcd in his checks putting 5000 deep
into his trousers pocket as the result of a
few cocktails and drop or two of
superstition.
